Such a great little experience! You managed to capture the "mini retro" feel perfectly. Rezland is a testament to how you can create a polished, entertaining experience without having to force yourself to come up with something new. The pixel art is great, the combat is satisfying, and there's a lot of variety, with different areas, enemies and backgrounds. I was particularly impressed with the clever use of the "spying glass" item to go around the resolution restriction — it added some strategy to the exploration as well. Even though the gameplay was linear, there was a welcoming sense of progression and I enjoyed playing it all the way through. The only things I'd do differently is have the looking glass item "pause" the game and the dash go over / pass through enemies — but these are design choices and I can definitely get behind them. Super well done, this deserves more reviews / rates!

Honestly, 5 stars across the board. I would totally buy that if it were a full game. The potion were spaced juuust right so the balance of the game was perfect. Almost like a casual dark souls or something. The only thing I think it was missing was a minimap that showed you places that you had already been to. I am super bad with directions and got a little lost in the snow. But, all in all. SO good. 

And yes, the music and sfx was MEGA quiet. Haha, it needs to be maybe triple the loudness. I'd love to see this developed into a bigger project. Once I had beaten it, I just wanted more!

Great game! Pixel art and animations are outstanding. Pressing enter on victory screen does nothing, but it doesn’t matter. I have made games on sdl2 before and I know how much work it is.

Raise the volume on the music and sfx! dont be afraid to get loud and crunchy with it! good stuff though guys
